Goodness, It's Hot!!!

I can't believe how hot it is this summer! I haven't seen any record breaking temperatures, but I'm guessing that the average temperature is higher than it has been the last couple of years. Anyways, I've been looking for some things to do over the summer, but It's so hot that all I've been doing is going swimming. It's fun, but I'm guessing everyone else had the same idea as me because it was packed. Beach balls and hoops would hit me left and right and I'd bump into someone every 10 minutes, but it was well worth it being in a large pool of water.

Besides swimming, there are many things that one can do, it's just up to you whether you can find it or not. One great idea is to go to the beach. Of course, this is pretty obvious, but the question is what are you going to do there? There is swimming in the sea, but there are many more places to explore when you go there. You can play beach volleyball, which is a fun game to play in the sun, although it might get hot, so wear plenty of sunscreen lotion. You can also visit the shops along the beach for some added fun. If you have no money, you can always window shop. If you do have a lot of cash on you, you can splurge a little bit and buy yourself something nice.

You can go on the pier to watch people fishing, or you can go fishing yourself. Despite what others think, fishing is actually pretty fun. Even though you might have to wait a while before catching some fish, it's a perfect chance to catch up with some friends and have some time where you guys can bond. Plus, once you catch that first fish, it's actually pretty exciting!

If you don't want to go to the beach, find something that will cool you down in your local area. I know for a fact that going ice skating will cool you down for sure. If you don't know how to skate, have fun learning. If you do, have some fun learning a couple of tricks and techniques to make you able to skate better.

If you don't want to go out anywhere, you can call over some friends. The problem with that is that all that body heat in that one room is going to make it extremely hot for you and your friends, so it's probably not the best idea. But whatever you can think of, as long as you're having fun, I'm sure it's going to help you forget about the summer heat.
